After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Trail Blazers 139-135 in overtime. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Shots just aren't falling for the Trail Blazers lately; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
